Re: [Callers] Contents of Callers Digest, Vol 66, Issue 4 -- CD with long cuts - Contra Callers

7 Feb 2010

I came across and purchased the Portland play along selection 2-CD set --  
it's actually intended for musicians, so they can "play along."  It  
contains 97 different widely-known contra tunes, mostly in sets of two or  three.  
They are identified by general type, i.e., "New England-Style and  Irish 
Jigs (4:03) Camp Pleasant Jig/ Sonny Brogan's/ Fair Jenny's Jig  or 
"Southern 
reels, up-tempo (4:11) Jeff City/John Sharp's Hornpipe/Ducks on the  Pond.  

Since these are intended for learning, they are played at moderate  tempo.  
(And there's a list by Key and Meter at the back.)

Total time on 2 discs just under 72 minutes.  

I have the sound tech put this on for the beginner's lesson, as once  
started, it just moves smoothly along, and nothing needs to be cued up or  
skipped (waltzes, for instance).  

Order thru _www.theportlandcollection.com/songer@portcoll.com_ 
(http://www.theportlandcollection.com/songer@portcoll.com) ,  according to the liner 
notes.

 I'm looking for CDs that could  be used for a
contra dance class.  The
music should be at a  moderate tempo, have long cuts (7 times or
more), have good phrasing  and a good beat.  Any suggestions?

 Hi  Chris,
 I hope this email finds you well. I'm hoping to get in on  the
 digest option
 of the sharedweight list, rather  than the full boat. What shall I
 do to make
 that  happen?

 all best,

 Kim  Roberts

 Mailman will
 collect the  e-mails into a queue and then send the contents of
 that queue  to
 the digest subscribers under two  conditions:

 1. a day has gone by,  or
 2. 30kb of data has collected. (about 5-7 messages on  average)

 Sometimes, when traffic is heavy,  there can be more than one
 digest e-mail
 sent  per day. This keeps the digest e-mails from getting too long
  and harder
 to read. All the traffic on the list should be  contained in your
 digest
 e-mails, the first  e-mail of the thread and the replies. Let Seth
 and I  know
 if you discover differently. An e-mail to  callers-
 owner(a)sharedweight.netwill reach both of  us.

 On a side note, moderating this list is  extremely easy for me. I
 do not
 review  messages before they are posted unless there is something
  unusual
 about how it was sent (from a non-subscribed address,  via BCC,
 etc.) and
 most of those are from spam  engines. The very few times that I had
 to ask
  someone to change what or how they posted to the list, they have  been
 responsive and respectful for the most part. Thank you  all for your
 respectful discussion. You set the tone of this  list and make it a
 great
  resource.

 Hi  Kim,

 Good to hear from you. Looking forward to seeing  you at the Down East
 festival.

 If you want  to change your options, go to this page:

  http://www.sharedweight.net/mailman/options/callers

  enter your e-mail address and password and you can change your
  options,
 including changing the digest mode setting. It's the 2nd  option in the
 grey area halfway down the  page.

 If you've forgotten your password, enter the  e-mail address you
 subscribed with and click the password reminder  button and a reminder
 e-mail will be sent to  you.

 enjoy!
  Chris
